திமுக முன்னாள் அமைச்சர் கே.என்.நேரு மீது வருமானவரித் துறை வழக்கு..!

According to Polimer News, the Madras High Court has issued a directive requiring former Tamil Nadu minister and DMK leader K.N. Nehru to provide a formal response in a case initiated by the Income Tax Department. The legal proceedings stem from tax investigations conducted in 2018 into two companies managed by Nehru's brother, Manivannan.

Tax authorities allege that a comparison between documents seized during the 2018 raids and the income tax returns filed by Nehru for the financial years 2013 to 2016 revealed discrepancies. Specifically, the department claims that approximately 17 crore rupees in income and 11 crore rupees in investments were not properly accounted for in the leader's filings. The Income Tax Department subsequently sought to include these amounts in Nehru's taxable income.

While an initial appeal filed by Nehru was accepted, the Income Tax Department challenged this decision before a tribunal, which ultimately dismissed the department's appeal. The current proceedings before the Madras High Court represent the department's latest attempt to contest that ruling. The court's order mandates that the former minister address the allegations regarding the undisclosed financial assets as the legal dispute continues.
